1 McMaster Place, Little Bay

Sweeping 270-degree never-to-be-built out views across The Coast Golf Course to the ocean are on a long list of outstanding features for this impressive architect-designed freestanding residence set on a north-facing block in the dress circle of Little Bay's prestigious residential community. Ideal for golfers, dog owners and people who enjoy coastal walks, this property has a happy and relaxed holiday vibe while offering easy proximity to the CBD (less than 30 minutes) and airport. Superbly created for effortless luxury living and entertaining, the low-maintenance home is perfect for downsizers who don't want to compromise on space or live an apartment. Ingeniously designed to maximise the magnificent views, the 3-level house has an open-plan upper level with spacious sitting, dining and family living zones flowing to wide verandahs. Also on this level are a home office, well-appointed gas kitchen, powder room and storeroom. At entry level are a wide entry hall, big main bedroom (with ensuite & dressing zone), 2 more double bedrooms (both with an ensuite) laundry and linen storeroom. In the basement are a double garage, more storerooms and a cellar. Ideal for adult living, the versatile layout provides the flexibility for one of the bedrooms to be used as a studio, another study or media room. Created on thermal mass principles, the house has thick walls so the interior temperature is even all year round. If needed during cooler months, the temperature can be boosted by a gas-heated hydronic system that warms room heaters, bathroom floors and towel rails. Equipped with low-energy and green credentials aimed at a zero carbon footprint, the house features a 2kVA solar-power system and water harvested from the roof and then stored in a 45,000 litre tank; the water supply also can be switched to a mains system. This superb and inventive residence is ahead of its time. Co-agent: NG FarahPeter Goulding - 0413 129 695
